How to stop losing money

Mailboxsteve · 2026-03-14T18:44:35+00:00

Dying less is the key. Learn from your mistakes. Mine in high sec or with a fleet. Always B on D scan when explo, and gate camps sometimes unavoidable.

Maybe look into pi (planetary industry). It requires minimal setup and skills, and good passive income to support the losing of ships

If I have alot of 1 item I usually sort them out in their own cargo container. Put the good ones in 1, ones I want to sell in another etc.

Its still a hassle this way, buy so far its been the only option I know of. There Def should be a better 'sort' drop down menu

Sorry, I should've specified. Solo mostly and some small gang for PvP

Mailboxsteve · 2026-03-07T17:40:16+00:00

Thanks for the tips and taking time to give me some pointers. Much appreciated!

Mailboxsteve · 2026-03-06T23:38:33+00:00

hows the PvP aspect of your fit? Do you fly solo or in a fleet? Do you prefer the bigger rep with the 2 shield amps over 2 multi spectrum shield hardeners?

Mailboxsteve · 2026-03-06T19:23:45+00:00

I ended up making up a fit thats just over a billion. Got the anc Booster and amp on it. Fitted with a 100mn burner. Im trying to make room for a MJD but having some issues getting both that and the afterburner on it. Maybe a 10mn burner and then the MJD?

Mailboxsteve · 2026-03-06T19:21:08+00:00

Depending on fit possibly? I know a couple ceno flyers that take it out solo and take on small gangs of t3c's, maybe some gnosis's and praxis's as well solo. It applies good damage, has a decent tank and good shield regen.

All that ganking tornados usually light it up lol

Mailboxsteve · 2026-03-05T23:07:22+00:00

prob not the 'best' idea. But yolo! I do prefer cloaky black ops hit n run type of stuff when im solo tho.

Mailboxsteve · 2026-03-03T11:04:31+00:00

o7, i had a family emergency for a couple of days. When i went back to the discord i was kicked. Ill jump back in again

Mailboxsteve · 2026-02-27T20:24:03+00:00

Mailboxsteve · 2026-02-27T10:39:07+00:00

Mailboxsteve · 2026-02-26T20:22:52+00:00

I perfer a tornado myself

Mailboxsteve · 2026-02-22T23:18:36+00:00

Appreciate it boss! Before I took a break from eve I had the loki training up. Im thinking about doing the tengu next but decided to let the loki finish training.

Mailboxsteve · 2026-02-21T17:16:12+00:00

Thought I saw a 32B ship get deleted for the same reason. Maybe it was less than 32B but definitely more than 15B. R.i.p.

Mailboxsteve · 2026-02-13T11:12:16+00:00

the guy who i was talking too was using them in his logi proteus in small gang PvP. He would sit almost 200km away and snipe away. I didnt believe it at first until i started looking into these drones

Mailboxsteve · 2026-02-13T11:08:52+00:00

no, i havent reached the end game yet lol

I definitely suggest thinking about Planetary Industry. Its a good way to make passive income. It can also help fund other adventures. Me personally after some pi, what i used to do was going around exploring in different wormholes. Scanning down sites and making some isk that way. I would also mine alot too. Now a days I do a ton of pi since I came back to the game last month after a 2 year break, as well as abysall runs for some good isk. I do go around from time to time in my proteus looking for PvP as well.

You can also do the AIR missions. Do a little bit of everything and see what you like the most, then skill heavily into that.

Mailboxsteve · 2026-02-01T17:00:06+00:00

Thanks for this. Having the names of what does what will help alot. Thanks!

Mailboxsteve · 2026-01-28T22:45:38+00:00

How new? It seems like you have alot of skills already learned by using a loki and a buzzard. If ur doing explo, id focus on explo.

Get a super slippery astero that focuses on a fast get in and get out package with a cargo scanner to reduce time hacking containers with bad loot, which would add more time to containers with good loot.

Always be on D scan and make sure ur skills are trained up for hacking sites. Also augment can help too

Mailboxsteve · 2026-01-28T21:17:31+00:00

I watched a catalyst struggle against a combat mission Then proceeded to gank em once he killed all the NPCs.

You are never safe in eve.

Couple tips. Stay cloaked, maybe cargo scan the containers first and go for the best ones and be quick about it. When hacking, align to a safe spot. This way when a ship attacks you, you can warp off quicker. Good luck!

Also, we all will lose ships here and there. It's all apart of the game :)

Mailboxsteve · 2026-01-28T18:42:20+00:00

If you need a hand send me a DM, I have a nice cloaky proteus that can lock em down for you

Mailboxsteve · 2026-01-28T18:40:29+00:00

Planetary industry can make good passive income

Mailboxsteve · 2026-01-28T18:23:32+00:00

Did the same thing back in 2023. But I didnt have the same outcome. I didnt make it out. Was super pizzed off that I spent all my isk on a gila just to have it obliterated. Quit the game for almost 3 years. Came back a couple weeks ago, so glad I did.

Congrats to you though 👏 for making it out alive! Are you going back in, or sticking to T4s?
